Quadriceps Tendonitis

Overuse Injury Leading to Knee Pain & Stiffness

What is Quadriceps Tendonitis?

Quadriceps Tendonitis is an overuse injury that causes inflammation in the quadriceps tendon, which connects the quadriceps muscles to the kneecap (patella). This condition results in knee pain, stiffness, and difficulty in movement, particularly during activities like jumping, running, or climbing stairs.

Symptoms of Quadriceps Tendonitis

  • Pain Above the Kneecap
  • Swelling & Tenderness
  • Weakness in the Quadriceps
  • Crackling Sensation (Crepitus)

Treatment Options for Quadriceps Tendonitis

Conservative (Non-Surgical) Treatment
  • Rest & Activity Modification – Avoid high-impact activities.
  • Ice Therapy – Reduces swelling and pain.
  • Pain Medications (NSAIDs) – Ibuprofen or naproxen for relief.
  • Physical Therapy & Stretching – Strengthens the quadriceps and improves flexibility.
  • Knee Bracing or Taping – Provides support and reduces stress on the tendon.
Advanced Treatment Options
  • Corticosteroid Injections – Helps reduce inflammation.
  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy – Promotes natural healing.
  • Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) – Stimulates tissue repair.
